The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Engineers Club of Hampton Roads (ECHR), and the Virginia Society of Professional Engineers (VSPE) cordially invite you to the
Joint Societies Luncheon to be held on Thursday, May 30^th, 2013.

Topic:                                  Mapping the Course:
           Improving Naval Facility Management through GIS Technology

 Guest Speakers:                        Mathew Gregory, GISP    

The GeoReadiness Center (GRC) provides NAVFAC MIDLANT with GIS support across its entire region from Virginia to Maine which includes 15 major CNIC Navy Shore Base and their associated special areas. The GRC provides GIS professional services in support of the Navy's shore installation management mission by ensuring that geospatial information is readily available for accurate and efficient decision making throughout many business lines within the NAVFAC organization. Providing this level of support throughout a large organization creates unique challenges. These challenges are met by implementing data standards, developing and maintaining quality data, increasing awareness through training, and supporting systems that provide an interface for viewing and analyzing these data.         

Matthew Gregory, GISP serves as a project manager for NAVFAC MIDLANT and provides GIS project management and analyst support for the GRC. Matthew's primary responsibilities include GIS data development, map development, data migration, data evaluation, data maintenance and analysis of the Navy's Common Installation Picture (CIP) data layers and additional business line data layers.
